More Details: Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role in diagnosing anterior disc displacement (ADD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). The primary objective of this study is to enhance diagnostic accuracy in two common disease subtypes of ADD of the TMJ on MRI, namely, ADD with reduction (ADDWR) and ADD without reduction (ADDWoR). To achieve this, we propose the development of transfer learning (TL) based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, which will aid in accurately identifying and distinguishing these subtypes.Methods: A total of 668 TMJ MRI scans were obtained from two medical centers. High-resolution (HR) MRI images were subjected to enhancement through a deep TL, generating super-resolution (SR) images. Naive Bayes (NB) and Logistic Regression (LR) models were applied, and performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. The model’s outcomes in the test cohort were compared with diagnoses made by two clinicians.Results: The NB model utilizing SR reconstruction with 400 × 400 pixel images demonstrated superior performance in the validation cohort, exhibiting an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.834 (95% CI: 0.763–0.904) and an accuracy rate of 0.768. Both LR and NB models, with 200 × 200 and 400 × 400 pixel images after SR reconstruction, outperformed the clinicians’ diagnoses.Conclusion: The ResNet152 model’s commendable AUC in detecting ADD highlights its potential application for pre-treatment assessment and improved diagnostic accuracy in clinical settings.
